What to Do With Leftover Party Supplies

So, as you know, I cleaned out the hall closet in my house during Operation Organization. During my purging, I decided to make a “Party” box with all things needed for birthdays and other festivities. Things like number candles, birthday banners, noise makers, and colored paper goods. But then I found that I had leftover party supplies from the themed birthdays that we’ve had. You know, Batman, Superman, Toy Story, etc.

Now that the boys are older and I have gotten wiser. I don’t buy the themed paper products anymore because I’m always stuck with leftovers and I don’t know what to do with them.

That’s when I turned to the almighty internet. When in doubt, search it out!

First off, I asked those of you on Facebook & Twitter. Here are some of the suggestions that I got:

@workandcats told me “We keep some in the car for when we have impromtu picnics in the park + napkins are useful if I run out of paper towels.” Not to mention having napkins in the car are great for those “accidental” spills that happen all too frequently!

Lindsay Hamer told me: “Napkins, I save for school lunches. I will pack a different one every time I make my kids lunch. (on “yucky” days. They are like fun party reminders.)” How sweet!!

Abby from Abby & Eva shared: “Paper plates and spoons/forks can be made into masks… Sometimes I just let my kid cut and glue til her heart’s content.”

Then I researched ways to sell my outdated party goods. MmmHmm, make money on this junk!!

One way is My Party Is Over. This website is dedicated to selling party supplies: new, gently used, or even handmade. You can also buy supplies too!
